Alan, If your not shy about being a novice, just post your questions here and several guys are likely to reply to each giving you a broader perspective of the American scene. There are several differences between railroading in the US and in Europe. The most important is that in the US, railroading is about making money. I understand in Europe, looks are given much emphasis. In the US, if it is efficent and safe nobody cares what it looks like. Most of our system is based on single track with passing sidings. We have almost no passenger rail because there is so little demand. So in the US all we see is freight trains except for an occasional Amtrak running from the northeast to Florida or from the northeast to Chicago or California. I gotta go indulge my son. Just post here and we will be happy to help. Good Luck - Ed
